Chapter 674 Being Targeted
Chapter 674 Being Targeted
Horseshoe cake was introduced from other counties, and people in Luohe Town have rarely seen it.
Father Ye specially cut some of the water chestnut cakes from the corners into small pieces and gave them to passers-by to try.
Free tasting is a good thing that no one can refuse, and the water chestnut cake is crystal clear, novel and beautiful, so most people who pass by will give it a try.
The transparent outer part of the water chestnut cake is soft, waxy and tough, while the water chestnut inside is crispy, very refreshing and has a very special texture.
None of the pastry shops here sell water chestnut cakes, and everyone is curious about this crystal-clear, rich-tasting pastry.
Moreover, the water chestnut cake is not expensive, it is only one cent more expensive than the red date cake, and a large piece only costs 6 cents.
Most people who have tried it will buy one or two pieces.
Among the food at the stall, water chestnut cake and roast duck are the best sellers.
Father Ye was still setting up his stall at the same spot as yesterday, and two or three repeat customers from yesterday came one after another.
People who had originally planned to eat nothing could not help but take a second look when they saw the colorful headbands and hairbands on the shelf.
Compared to the gold silk handkerchief which cost 170 renminbi, the headbands and hairbands which cost more than [-] renminbi were very cheap, and several of them were sold at once.
There were not many people on North Street, and a few more people came one after another, and the items on the stalls decreased little by little.
What surprised Father Ye more was that the two little girls who were reluctant to part with the gold handkerchief came over again.
The two little girls came to the stall with their mothers, coquettishly trying to get the woman next to them to buy it for them.
One of the women, who was more cheerful and doting on her daughter, agreed without saying a word and let the little girl choose a handkerchief of her choice.
Another woman was reluctant to part with the 170 yuan, so she only picked two pieces of cake to coax the little girl.
The little girl was also a greedy person and happily ate the sweet pastries.
Father Ye brought over two roast ducks and two roast chickens. Except for the more water chestnut cakes, the other pastries only cost about 10 pieces each.
When the sun set on the top of the mountain, most of the items on the stall had been sold.
A total of 4 gold silk handkerchiefs made by Ye Qingqing were sold, and 12 headbands and hairbands made by Wang Chunyu and Mrs. Ye were also sold.
By this time, classes at the academy had ended, and young people coming back from the academy were arriving one after another on North Street.
The few pastries left on the stall were rounded up by these hungry teenagers.
Although the braised pork is selling slowly, we didn’t bring much to begin with, and they are all sold out one after another.
Father Ye brought more things today than yesterday. Until the sun completely set, there were still two kilograms of ribs left on the stall.
Father Ye doesn't plan to sell the remaining ribs anymore, and plans to take them back to eat at home.
Before going back, Ye's father went out of his way to find the steward in charge of the rental stall.
Father Ye gave the steward a pound of braised pork ribs, and also gave 5 cents in advance for the stall fee, so that he could help reserve the spot for today's stall.
Father Ye paid the stall fee in advance, and looking at the fragrant braised pork ribs in his hand, the steward agreed immediately.
Mobile stalls have a disadvantage. The stalls are not fixed and it is difficult to accumulate repeat customers.
The stalls have changed. Those who are patient will probably take a closer look around, while those who are impatient will just leave.
When Ye's father returned home, Ye Qingqing, Mrs. Ye and Wang Chunyu were all waiting for him in the yard.
As soon as he entered the door, Father Ye was surrounded by three people.
Ye Qingqing was pregnant and had a big belly, so no one tried to compete with her and stood directly at the front.
"Dad, how are the sales of my gold silk handkerchiefs?" Ye Qingqing asked impatiently.
"Your gold silk handkerchiefs were well made and sold very well. A total of 4 handkerchiefs were sold, two were sold for 155 fen, and the other two were sold for 160 fen."
As he spoke, Father Ye took out the money Ye Qingqing had earned from selling handkerchiefs, and it was a big bag full of copper coins.
"That is to say, these four handkerchiefs were sold for 4 Wen more than when they were taken to the embroidery workshop."
Ye Qingqing was holding a large bag of copper coins, and his crisp laughter almost reached the Tang family next door.
After saying that the extra money should be shared equally between the father and daughter, Ye Qingqing happily counted 55 copper coins and gave them to Ye's father.
Father Ye was not polite to his daughter and accepted it happily.
Seeing that the father and daughter were finished, Mrs. Ye on the side quickly pulled Father Ye over and asked:
"How are the sales of the headbands and hairbands made by Xiaoyu and I?"
Seeing that the two of them were very anxious, Father Ye didn't care anymore and took out another purse from his arms.
"A total of 5 hair ties and 7 headbands were sold. All the money is here."
The headbands and hairbands made by the two of them are no better than Ye Qingqing's gold silk handkerchiefs. Most of them cost more than ten pennies each, and the total cost is only more than 100 pennies.
However, the cost of headbands and hair ties is small, and it doesn’t take much time. You can make several in a day.
Seeing that today's business was good, Father Ye planned to bring another roast duck and a basket of water chestnut cakes to North Street to set up a stall tomorrow.
The third day of setting up the stall was similar to the previous two days. Roast duck and water chestnut cakes still sold better, but other items were also sold out.
For several days in a row, Father Ye went to North Street to set up a stall every afternoon with all kinds of food and groceries.
In addition to eating, Father Ye also went to Ye Donglin's grocery store and took some fabrics and story books to set up a stall together.
Anyway, the stall fee is fixed. The more things on the stall, the better. Who would think too much money?
Ye's father set up a stall on North Street, and the happiest person was actually Yan Dafu of Yan's Braised Pork Shop. Every day he looked forward to Ye's father closing the earlier braised pork shop and focusing on setting up a stall on North Street.
The business at Ye's father's stall is booming, and he is making more and more money, but he has also caught the attention of interested people.
"Dad, Dad, I bought it back."
A young man about the same age as Ye Donglin hurried into the back kitchen of a restaurant, carrying a two-layer food box in his hand.
A thin middle-aged man came around with two cooks.
The young man opened the food box and took out the roast duck and chicken.
"Dad, please try how this roasted chicken tastes. I feel it is similar to the roasted chicken in Zhangjia Restaurant. And this roasted duck. Even Zhangjia Restaurant doesn't have roasted duck."
The middle-aged man directly tore off a chicken leg, and the other two cooks each tore off a small chicken drumstick.
The middle-aged man took a bite of the chicken leg with a slight disappointment on his face, "The skin of this roast chicken is crispy and the meat is quite juicy inside, but the taste is worse than Zhang's roast chicken."
"I think it's quite delicious. The taste is a little lighter than Zhang's roast chicken, but I think it tastes pretty good too."
The young man pulled off another large chicken leg and ate it with gusto.
The young man quite likes eating the roasted chicken from the Ye family. He also discovered the roast duck and chicken at the Ye family stall.
Putting down the chicken leg in his hand, the middle-aged man pulled off another roast duck leg.
"This roast duck is quite interesting. Although it tastes similar to roast chicken, it's better than anywhere else."
"I also think this roast duck is quite delicious. If we can buy the recipe for roast chicken and roast duck, our Bai Family Restaurant will definitely beat Zhang Family Restaurant."
The middle-aged man with a serious face showed a rare smile, "I'm going to ask someone to find out who this Ye Fengshou is. Don't act rashly first."
"He's just a little guy running a stall. I heard he's from the village below. Just give him a few dozen taels of silver."
The young man was young and energetic, and did not take Father Ye seriously at all.
The middle-aged man glared at him with hatred, and specifically warned: "I will handle this matter, just don't cause any trouble for me."
